Location and Access
South Beach Park is open from 8 a.m. until sunset every day (sunset time is officially established by the U.S. Weather Bureau). The park is a day-use beach area so you can’t stay in a tent or trailer overnight.

If you get hungry, you can go to one of the eating places just across the road. Unfortunately, there are no picnic facilities in the park.

Beach Access
The park features beach access allowing you to swim in the Atlantic Ocean. The sand is white and soft. The water is blue and crystal clear. The safest time to swim is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (from November to the middle of March) and from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (from the middle of March through October) when there are professional lifeguards on duty. They are always friendly and attentive.
Flora and Fauna
The nature of South Beach Park is represented by native trees and shrubs on dunes, which successfully withstand the salt breeze and stabilize the sand. There are heavily foliaged areas where you can spot various species of small birds. Closer to the ocean, you have chances to see larger and more interesting web-footed birds. Please do not feed the animals in the park – it may harm them.
Fishing
Many people come to South Beach Park to fish so you can also take your fishing rod and relax on the shore for hours while making a good catch. Just be aware that fishing is not allowed in the designated swimming areas during the lifeguard hours.
